Currently run Fox 36's, would like a 140 travel fork that is like my old pike but lighter, ie stiff & strong. 36's are 2.2 kg. any suggestions?

Revelation Teams, great damping, stiff (20mm axle) and light..........Oh, and I have a set for sale 😉

Mine are F120RL qr15's and seem every bit as stiff as my mates old Pikes. I think my wheels stiffness is more an issue.
Damping seems spot on, occasionally I would like a touch more compression as they do move a lot. The forks are better than I am.

Revelations aren't as stiff as Pikes- they're not exactly flexy but they're not manly-stiff. 32s are far less stiff.

An air lyrik depending on model can weigh less than the heavier Pikes IIRC. Or, Magura's Thor is stiff- same ballpark as a Pike, wouldn't like to call it either way. Though at the same time I don't think I'd take the risk of fitting Magura to any of my bikes...
